Hello. I have issues.
« on: July 18, 2013, 11:21:28 am »

How to delete imported files from the list of imported files.
I don't like not being able to manipulate that.
Next where to find an example DAE file with predefined lods
and stuff, i have no idea what's written on wiki page,
it's like some ancient mesopotamian without pictures.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>EXAMPLE FILE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
please.

And why this site is so slow? Is it a feature?
And i need to verify myself every time i post? Joking?
What is this?

well, a lot is changing in time ... user-made small import helps are on forum scattered doe. There was the simple tatra model posted http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=284.msg3275#msg3275   ... i try to make something when my project is working like it should ... (there are some troubles now, so a little wait is needed) ... doe, people will help if you ask specific questions. They are nice, friendly people.  ;)

... verifying always after posting ? ... like wanting you to login every time ?

... no ofence taken  :D ... well, the hierarchy is taken as a base of bones for the importer (should keep that in mind), there are a few good posts already :

http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=1558.0

http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=1591.msg18043#new
(the hierarchy image is missing i think, but simply, all wheels are parented to the base, witch is primary in hierarchy - but would see in importer videos too, as ite hierarchies match in the script-enabled bones menu of the importer)
http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=1558.msg17857#msg17857
http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=1721.msg21821#msg21821

... would be good, if you go trough all of those topics ... may even ask their creators a thing or two if interested more too ... 
I will try give my model when it works correctly ...

... as for the verifying problem, it should not do that all the time. Maybe there is some option in your browser, not allowing the cache be written (not indexing that you logged in already) or some cache-cleaner getting that done ... try look into that.

Me with my issues again.

Just raw baked ao.
Im trying to import it using Nvidia Tools for photoshop
for conversion.

First - no ATI1 format.
No idea where is it.
After importing into engine i see this

And it is DXT1 and you can see the texture is there, it's just
wrong.
What i am doing wrong?

What do you want to achieve? ATI1 format can be used only for reflectance/roughness/opacity maps. The only tool able to generate ATI1 is command line version of Nvidia Texture Tools (i don't know why it isn't included into Photoshop plugin)

The problem is that it doesnt read the texture.
I can't figure out where it is stored in the first place, where the engine copyes it when i import.
And also, because it doesn't update the model when reimporting, and i can't delete entries in
imported list i have this mess -

I figured out tow LOD's work, node hierarchy,
now im figuring out the texture importing, and i
have no luck yet making it work.

The old models can be deleted from your data directory (you selected during install, by default c:\users\yourwinname\outerra). The packages are folders under packages/morikubo/. Model files are *.objdef, delete the ones you don't want. A package can contain multiple models and skin files, so the importer doesn't delete other objdef files there when importing. Textures are in that folder too.

On AMD the textures won't load when they extents are not multiples of 4.

You may have to edit the matlib file to assign the texture to the right slot, please post the matlib file.

Thanks for mentioning that directory! :)
Texture is 1024, i have nvidia gtx670, matlib i think is allright


Code: [Select]
[
{
"name" : "White__Water_Tower_LOD0_",
"diffuse" : "185,185,185,255",
"Ax" : "7",
"Ay" : "7",
"m" : "127",
"tex_diffuse" : "0_Water_Tower_1_diffuse.dds",
"tex_normal" : "",
"tex_env" : "",
"tex_opacity" : "",
"tex_reflectance" : ""
}]

So.. :/

And the dds texture looks ok in Irfan?
Try renaming the dds file to something shorter, as well as in the matlib file - there was a problem with long file names once.

Hmm, then it looks as if the texture coordinates weren't there or something. Are there some warnings/errors in the import log?

Hm... how the engine reacts on overlapping uvw?
Cuz i have a lot of it in my models
maybe that's the case.
But udk for example eats that, and only the lightmap uvw must be non-overlapped.
I have one warning on details(which is separate model in that package), but i havent worked with them yet.
Can it be possible that engine uses 0 channel, and 3ds exports 1 channel?
Can i be the case? I tried to change to 0, but max wont let me do that.
